I make BIG quilted stuffed hounds and the fusible batting is wonderful for this kind of project. I piece the fabric together then cut out the various pieces of the hound. I then drape muslin over the ironing board, lay out the batting then lay my pieced fabric pieces out and iron them on. I do throw a couple of pins in and then cut the batting and muslin to fit the top pieces. Then I press both sides of the pieces. This makes it really easy to quilt the pieces and assemble the hound. I think for projects like this the fusible batting is perfect. Anything else I use warm and natural but I intend to use the spray basting next time for a bigger item. I'll try to post a picture of a couple of my hounds.
